IoT is, by nature, disruptive. It is impacting businesses across sectors and increasing the focus on delivering production-ready connectivity. HARMAN’s Sanjay Dhawan will discuss why 2018 will be the year enterprise truly embraces IoT as a reality and faces the need establish an IoT strategy that flourishes within the constructs of the fluid connected economy. Within this discussion, he will address how:

o It is crucial to understand the user journey for both customers and employees. IoT shifts constantly, so a stable understanding of what drives users will illuminate the path to relaying the value of your business/product in a way they will understand. If enterprise doesn’t translate data in a user friendly manner, the value of your IoT investment is lost.

o Instating a comprehensive IoT strategy will fundamentally alter your business. In order to reap the full benefits of IoT for their organization, enterprise leaders must understand the scope of a technology’s application, what deploying the corresponding IoT ecosystem will cost and the timeline until the organization can generate a return on investment.

o IoT’s value is greater than the pool of data it collects. It is the way the enterprise distributes this data that will impact internal and external successes. Analytics need to be communicated simply and clearly, and these communications need to happen in a timely fashion, or businesses won't be able to access the value IoT can bring.

The Vertical Commute: Managing people flow in smart cities through IoT

PresenterJon Barr -
Head of Global Development for KONE Americas,
KONE

more

Elevators, escalators, doors and turnstiles used daily by billions of people worldwide are being transformed to drastically improve the flow of urban life and make cities better places to live.

With urban populations growing at a rapid rate, it’s as important as ever to leverage the data and tools available to us to design in a responsible way. Increasingly, connected buildings – via sensors and monitoring equipment – allow us to both modernize existing buildings and design new ones that create the most efficient use of space.

Urbanization is fundamentally changing the way buildings are being designed, built and managed.

Mobile technology, IoT applications, cloud-based services, and predictive building analytics can improve the way we travel within and between buildings, and allow better monitoring and real time analysis of people flow.

KONE’s partnerships with companies like Salesforce and IBM Watson are playing an increasingly important role in the management of People Flow and data throughout smart cities.

Multi-modal transportation is a current topic of discussion in the IoT and Smart Cities world. Innovation is key to drive change when it comes to transportation planning and execution. This panel of experts in logistics, operations, robotics and manufacturing bring together a model that will revolutionize the way people get around in their cities. By partnering, these companies have developed an innovative and scalable solution utilizing neighborhood electric vehicles to connect people to public transportation as well as getting accurate positioning system in place (Smart Roads). By adding such a service, communities can change their attitudes about using their cars on a daily basis, reducing carbon emissions, traffic congestion and driving economic re-development in transit or food deserts.

The Open Road to Accelerating Enterprise IoT

SpeakerPhilip DesAutels -
Senior Director of IoT,
Linux Foundation

more

IoT is delivering significant business value by improving efficiencies and increasing revenue through automation and analytics, but widespread fragmentation and the lack of a common IoT solution framework are hindering broad adoption and stalling market growth.

Hosted by The Linux Foundation, EdgeX Foundry is a new open source project that is accelerating enterprise IoT deployments by unifying the marketplace around a common IoT edge framework and an ecosystem of interoperable components.

This session will provide an overview of EdgeX Foundry and discuss how the EdgeX framework makes it easy for enterprises to quickly create IoT edge solutions that have the flexibility to adapt to changing business needs.

Quantifying the value and service in IoT – Making it a profitable business

IIOT and Industry 4.0 come with many benefits, but also exposes the critical and sensitive industrial control systems. In this session we will review top ICS security challenges and discuss what can be done to protect these networks against cyber attacks, malicious insiders and human error.

Where does the data come from that helps make decisions to run a company’s operations? The automation system. A smart manufacturing approach needs a robust Industrial IoT architecture that provides the integration of smart devices, the control platform, design and operational software on a single secure network. Rockwell Automation is helping customers lower the barrier of entry for digital transformation initiatives with a connected enterprise. Leveraging information throughout operations is creating new value streams. Today customers can leverage contemporary cloud and analytic platforms to digitize their enterprise. Modern approaches break through boundaries not considered before, allowing innovative new approaches to productivity and new markets.

Disruption is present everywhere, but not all “Innovation” is disruptive. Banking is facing industry transformation and digital challenges. This includes rapidly changing client demands, operational requirements and technologies that are driving digital transformation.

How has Citi responded to these trends? We’ll explore the three main imperatives of efficiency, transformation, and innovation, and how Citi helps its clients execute using the latest technology.

Steven Martin, VP, Chief Digital Officer, GE Energy Connections is available to discuss the importance of a significant digital transformation and the implementation of IIoT in the oil & gas industry, to be able to increase productivity and profitability of companies in this new era of reduced spending. He can explain in detail the use of integrated services, the capitalization on new sensors, and the value of workforce training on how to leverage digital transformation and IIoT in order to pave the way to success.
